Kate Abel, PhD
2009 Hertz Fellow
Kate Abel is a Research Scientist at Tokyo Electron.
Kate’s work focuses on developing new processes and applications for inkjet printing of functional materials.
Kate’s thesis focused on understanding the limitations and failure mechanisms of lithium-alloying anode materials and developing new chemical strategies to overcome these limitations. Her interests include looking at how material structure and chemical composition affect electrochemical properties.
"The Hertz Fellowship gave me the freedom to choose a research project that was interesting to me. The fellowship is unique and miles ahead of other fellowships in terms of individual support given to each fellow and the community that it creates."
